Why can I not install PowerChute Business Edition on RHEL 5.11?

Issue:

When installing PowerChute Business Edition on RHEL 5.11, the following error message is seen, “RSA/SHA1 signature:BAD, RPM cannot be installed” and the installation is unsuccessful. This happens because RPM signing keys are not supported for RHEL 5.11.

This tells RPM to ignore the signature when installing PowerChute Business Edition and will treat the RPM as unsigned.

NOTE:You will not be able to verify the RPM package on RHEL 5.11. However, this is the case for previous versions of PowerChute that were unsigned.To uninstall PowerChute Business Edition on RHEL 5.11, execute the following command:rpm --nosignature -e pbeagent
